Overall great phone

In today's world, a phone isn't just to make and receive calls anymore. There is perhaps no limit to the ingenuities of features phones now come with and will come with in the future. But, with plenty features, comes a steep learning curve. I am not a person to have to undergo a degree everytime I change a phone, but at the same time, I have grown to look for certain features: bluetooth, camera, internet, keyboard inputs, memory card, a big screen, speakerphone, quadband and a sophisticated look. The Sidekick has all of these features, and for me, it even turns a few heads in and outside of the courtroom. The features on the Sidekick are mainstream: what you would be satsified with, but are not exceptional, so enthusiasts may not find them as catchy. But if you want to take pictures with reasonable clarity (3.0 MP), while browsing the internet, texting and chatting on the reasonable sized screen, while navigating with a nicely placed trackball, and using a finely lit and easy to use keyboard, then the Sidekick will be the one for you. The only downside is that the internet only works on the Tmobile network (or a compatible hip-hop/danger service provider). This means that when I am home in the Caribbean, I am limited to the features on my phone. Apart from this, the phone is a trustworthy Sidekick, withstanding mighty falls and tumbles (in the provided case) and still working as it should. If you are looking for a phone with reasonable features and at a good price, then I would recommend this phone. Its taken the place of the Blackberry Storms for me, which was more complicated, and was very 'touchy' and 'sensitive'.

Altogether Good Phone

Everyone today has a Blackberry- and if someone asks you for your BB#, having none is not a proper response. Indeed, Blackberry has penetrated our very lives and wooed us with its networked systems and applications. So to me, getting a Blackberry was to get on the Internet Service and to do so in style. Of course, with great style comes a great price, and I dont favour digging deep into my pockets for that hard earned cash and using it on something whose price will drop in a few months- so price for me was also a factor. Thus, chosing something like the Storm which was out for a little while was economically sound- when taken in light of the features I wanted. (1)The touch feature- or rather the "Sure Press" technology of this phone. Think not of it as an Ipod or touch screen, but as a phone with dynamic buttons. That way its cool to change the layout and positioning of your keypad with a few clicks. (2) The wide screen and the ability to change the view from portrait to landscape as you turn the screen. This is a feature the other BBs lack (except the Storm 2), and so this is a big plus for me, to switch views depending on what I was doing, or watching. Other features of the phone are pretty much standard such as text messaging, mms, email, the applications, bluetooth etc so these just served as anchor preferences. The phone does have a few drawbacks though, namely: (1) That it has no WIFI- which does not matter that much as I have blackberry internet service, but this would mean that you cant connect to your home network with this phone. (2) ** This phone has memory deficiencies! I am told the Storm only has about 32 MB App data and this is used up fassst! MY camera hardly works until I restart for want of more memory and this is my biggest complain about the phone.
